The next day, all the characters that Li Qing had opened the treasure chest came to vote.
These people had just come out, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Li Qing immediately had a plan in his mind. Just as he was thinking carefully, the voice of the Illusion God Guard came from outside.
"My lord, Duke Xu Mao requests an audience.”
"Oh? Please!" Li Qing stood up.
"Greetings, my lord." When Xu Maogong saw Li Qing, he hurriedly bowed.
"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. You're in such a hurry to find me. Is there something you need?”Li Qing asked.
"My lord, how do you think we should break into the city?”Xu Maogong went straight to the point.
"Oh? Mister, do you have any good ideas?" Li Qing smiled. A person with 97 Intelligence was indeed extraordinary. He could come up with a plan because he paid attention to the situation every day. Xu Maogong, on the other hand, had only come to seek refuge in the morning. It had only been four hours, but he had already seen the situation clearly and came up with a plan. He was indeed worthy of being Li Shimin's right-hand man.
Xu Maogong didn't say it directly. Instead, he looked at Li Qing and said,""My lord has already made up his mind. It seems that I have worried too much.”
"You're really amazing, sir," Li Qing said with a smile."But I still want to hear your opinion first."”
Xu Maogong nodded and said,"" The Yellow Turban soldiers have just been defeated. It's hard for ordinary strategies to work. After the victory, the soldiers under the lord will inevitably be arrogant. I think that in the current situation, we can't use force, but we have to use our wits.”
"Sir, what do you mean?" Li Qing said with a faint smile.
Xu Maogong looked at Guangzong City, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He said," My lord burned 100,000 Yellow Turban elites with a single fire. Even one of the leaders of the bandits, General Ren Gong, Zhang Liang, died tragically. Now, Guangzong City must be on high alert. Moreover, most of the generals under my lord have been drawn. I believe the enemy is no stranger to us.”
"In this way, many schemes will no longer be of use. If the Yellow Turban bandits close the city and don't come out, the rumors in the court will be detrimental to you.”
"But I think the two warriors who came with me today are extraordinary and might be useful.”
"Once we succeed, my lord might not need to expend a single soldier to break through the city.”
Li Qing laughed and said,"Good plan. Why don't you tell me the complete plan?"”
"Actually, my lord has already thought of it. I was just doing something unnecessary.”After Xu Maogong finished speaking, he was even more delighted. He would do his best to assist such a wise master.
"Lord, please send Hua Rong and Chang Yuchun to enter Guangzong City with me. I will use my glib tongue to obtain this great merit for you.”
Li Qing nodded. 30,000 broke 100,000. With the reputation accumulated from the previous two battles, his name had long become a terrifying figure in the Yellow Turban army. Now that the Yellow Turban army had just lost a battle and even Zhang Liang had died in battle, this was not only a huge defeat, but also the uneasiness and suspicion of many middle-level and even high-level members of the Yellow Turban army.
Xu Maogong had also taken a fancy to this point, which was why he had asked for the order. He was not going to say that he would surrender Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, the two bandit leaders, but to use his glib tongue to incite internal strife in the Yellow Turban Army, just like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, causing the enemies to kill each other.
"This trip to Guangzong is fraught with danger. Your talent is better than a hundred thousand soldiers. How can I disregard your safety for a victory?”Li Qing said.
"My lord, please rest assured. I heard that before Hua Rong joined my lord, he had already made friends with Liu Pi, Gong Du, and the others. As long as Hua Rong is willing to lead the way, great things can be accomplished!”Xu Maogong immediately said.
"Now that the rebel army has just been defeated, it is the best time. Please don't hesitate anymore.”
Li Qing nodded his head in satisfaction. In order to prove himself, Xu Maogong was going all out.
"Alright, but you must remember that you must prioritize your own safety. If things can't be done, retreat immediately. I will order someone to pick you up.”
Soon, Hua Rong and Chang Yuchun arrived at Li Qing's tent under the summons of the Illusion God Guards.
"Hua Rong, Chang Yuchun!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I order you to enter Guangzong City with Xu Maogong and protect him. You will listen to Xu Maogong's orders on the way.”
"Here, this subordinate will not fail your mission." The two of them accepted the order.
"Alright, if we succeed this time, I won't be stingy with my rewards.”Li Qing said.
"Thank you, my lord!" After the three of them finished speaking, they bowed and left the commander's tent.
Looking at the three of them leaving, Li Qing clenched his fists and muttered,"I wish you all the best."
After saying that, he sighed and began to ponder.
If they could succeed this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would end earlier than history. As long as Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were dead, Zhang Mancheng's troops, Buyi's troops, and the scattered Yellow Turban troops in the south would not be a threat.
At that time, would chaos arrive ahead of time, and what should he do?
This was a very troublesome problem, but as the lord, he had to plan ahead.
The eunuchs and Great General He Jin were like fire and water. Once the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, it would definitely erupt.
It was impossible to take sides, and there were only two ways to avoid all this.
Firstly, being far away from Luoyang meant being far away from right and wrong.
As for the second option, it was naturally to strengthen himself so that he could become a third party…
